The resort is amazing and beautifully developed. The beach front was well maintained with powdery white sand. Free use of kayak and paddleboard. 2 pools with warm water, but normal and nothing special. Positive was lifeguard was present and attentive. The food in the resort was good, but quite pricey. The room was spacious and clean drinking water was given generously. The best part was the extra unexpected services in including a free trip to South Farm. This was superdooper fun, with free animal feeding and riding. There was also a restaurant there. Have recommended to friends. We will go back.

There was really no reason to leave the resort, everything is there. Their spa massages were heaven! I had one each day except when we had to do the island hopping. Gym is 24/7 open which is great. just wished they open their pool earlier than 8am and had more Filipino cuisine available. Staff are friendly and most of them have great attention to detail. I just booked another stay with them in Sept.

I love the concept of this resort. It has a natural traditional feel type of resort not the typical modern building type. From the small details of keycard, welcome drink, necklace to the cottages/rooms, restaurant & all the coconut trees that surrounds the resort are beautiful. The beach & long shoreline with white sand made it perfect. Such a beautiful resort & i love how quiet & private the beach & surroundings are. Food at the restaurant is good as well with beautiful presentation. Rooms are small & breakfast buffet is very good & adequate. I will definitely come back & stay longer. They should limit the number of day passes to outsiders to prevent it from getting too crowded in the lounge areas which will affect its appeal.

We stayed for 4-nights. Although there were two weddings during our stay, it wasn’t as noisy as we thought it would be and their operations for staying guests did not stop. Their best assets at the resort are their food and their staff! If I can make one suggestion, most toilets I used at the resort had toilet seats that were smaller than the actual toilet. Change those to the correct toilet seat size, and everything would be perfect!

South Palms is an awesome place to relax. It’s not overly populated, peaceful and staff are great! One thing I enjoyed the most was the massage. The therapists were all great and friendly plus a wonderful view to savour after the treatment. The room was nice but the aircon inside our room was not as strong as my children’s room. An exhaust inside the bathroom would be a good addition 😁 Overall, it was an amazing stay! I can recommend this place to my family and friends.

South Palm is an excellent place for vacation. It is quiet and the rooms were very clean in fact they make sure that you have a clean room all the time that they clean it 2x/ day. Never seen one with this service. The buffet breakfast in the morning was very good with variety of options for you to choose. They even offered to pack your breakfast when you go for day trip isn’t that amazing. The staf were all respectful and treat you well for all your needs. Their beaches were well maintained. They have staff that clean the sides of the beach each morning. I love their massage the therapist were excellent they do a very good cnn job and maintain your privacy. Over all this is the place to unwind and enjoy your vacation very done.
